Sanlorenzo Yachts UK appoints new Managing Director

Sanlorenzo Yachts UK has appointed Nick Hatfield to the position of Managing Director.

As part of the Ancasta Group, Sanlorenzo Yachts UK was previously managed centrally with Hatfield as Sales Manager but, following the business’ significant growth over the last four years under his stewardship, he has been promoted to Managing Director to spearhead its continued development and success.

“I am delighted to be charged with taking Sanlorenzo Yachts UK to the next level,” says Hatfield.

“Over the last few years, we have made significant inroads in bringing this exclusive Italian yacht brand to the UK and Ireland market, expanding our award-winning team in both the sales and aftersales departments to support our growing base of distinguished clientele.

“This expansion will continue as we seek new sales managers to strengthen the team further, as well as establish a permanent presence in London.”

Hatfield will officially take up his new position on 1 January 2025.

Managing Director of the Ancasta Group, Nick Griffith, comments: “In 2020, Nick lead the introduction of the incredible Sanlorenzo brand to the UK market, to serve the growing demand for made-to-measure yachts amongst UK-based consumers.

“Nick’s 17 years of yachts sales experience, his in-depth knowledge of the Sanlorenzo brand, and his understanding of the UK market, make him the ideal person to take the reins and drive the business forward. I am extremely confident that the business is in great hands, and I look forward to seeing it grow as we strengthen our relationship with the iconic shipyard.”

Offering true customisation, Sanlorenzo creates made-to-measure yachts that reflect the unique personalities, tastes and lifestyle choices of their individual owners. Each yacht is a work of art with its own story to tell.

With the exterior aesthetic the only pre-defined factor, Sanlorenzo’s portfolio comprises innovatively designed ranges of skilfully crafted, customisable yachts (28 to 38-metres in length), from the planing SL Series and semi-displacement SD Series to the adventurous ‘crossover’ SX Series and the Smart Performance SP Series.
